Vancouver Island North – Club Night – A Voyage of Uncommon Sense

Ever wondered what it would be like to cruise through SE Asia? Get yourself lost in Bali, get up close and personal with wild orangutans in Borneo, or try not to get blown ashore in Phuket during the Kings Cup storm of 2010? Or maybe sail blindly into a Malaysian fish trap in a midnight tropical storm, be approached by pirates off the coast of Sumatra, or search for sunken treasure with Captain Warren Blake? Or refit a yacht in a fish boat yard, far up a river in southern Thailand? What do you do when the weather turns nasty, and Hurricane Ignacio interferes when sailing home from Hawaii?

Come out, see some pictures and hear some stories, most of which are entirely true! Cress Walker will share stories of adventure and misadventure from a small part of a 10 year circumnavigation with his wife, Irena, a voyage of over 50,000 nm and 41 countries.

Bonus: How to invite, train, enjoy and then send crew on.
